Hilo, Hawaii
December 4, 20268:00 AM – 5:00 PMHilo feels like real Hawaii, misty waterfalls, lava stone streets, local cafes, and a slower pace where rain showers roll through and life keeps smiling.
Explore Hilo, HawaiiCaptain's TipYou'll have 9 hours hours to explore Hilo, Hawaii, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Ships dock close to downtown, making it possible to explore on foot or join organized shore excursions.
Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii
December 5, 20267:00 AM – 11:00 PMHonolulu blends island soul and city energy, warm beaches, palm lined streets, mountain backdrops, and that feeling you get when aloha really means welcome.
Explore Honolulu, Oahu, HawaiiCaptain's TipThe Emerald Princess will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Waikiki is iconic for a reason.
Day at Sea — December 6, 2026
December 6, 20268:00 AM – 5:00 PMKauai feels like Hawaii before the rush, emerald cliffs, quiet beaches, jungle rain, and a laid back island rhythm that slows everything down.
Captain's TipYour ship arrives in Kauai, Hawaii at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Often called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Waimea Canyon offers sweeping views of red and green cliffs carved by time.
Kona, Hawaii
December 7, 20268:00 AM – 6:00 PMKona greets you with warm lava stone shores, bright island sunshine, and an easygoing Hawaiian rhythm shaped by ocean and volcano.

That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port.

Ensenada, Mexico
December 13, 20262:00 PM – 6:00 PMEnsenada feels easy and lively, ocean breeze off the Pacific, street tacos sizzling, nearby vineyards rolling inland, and a relaxed Baja rhythm that invites you in.
Explore Ensenada, MexicoCaptain's TipArriving in Ensenada, Mexico at 2:00 PM with only 4 hours hours before your 6:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. This main street near the port is the heart of Ensenada for visitors.
